Happy Harvest! Spiritual Advice

Unfortunately and often, we associate the hearing of voices as insanity. It’s so commonly accepted in fact, that it’s become a figure of speech, “Hearing voices? We know what that means (wink, wink). Fear not! The white coats are on the way!” Communicating with guides in the spirit world, however, is not insane. Indeed, it’s worth your while to listen and make note of the messages. Always include the date in your records! What if the voices are in the spirit world, dropping by to lend you a hand and parlay information that could elevate you to live a healthier, happier more fulfilling life?

Differentiating the Good from the Bad Spiritual Advice

It’s not so simple. How can you distinguish spirit guide communication from your own fantasy or emotional reactions to things happening to you?

How do you know if the spirit is honourable?

How do you know if the spirit is honourable? Or a trickster? Or suffers from an unhealed mental malady themselves? A loving, sane guide never recommends something potentially harmful to you or others; they never suggest anything that would bring you shame, embarrassment or guilt. They may not always suggest the road of least resistance however, but we know when we hear it, that it’s the path of truth.

I would also recommend you say a prayer. Have one handy that works for you. I like one provided by my spiritual guide, Cora, “I need the aid, the guidance, and influence of spiritual powers from those spirits who are of the highest and best.” I have copies of this little prayer everywhere – in my purse, on my reading table, in my desk calendar. Some people carry talismans, I carry this little prayer around always and say it often.

Not All Guides Use Audio Communication

Not all spirit guides however, parlay. Sometimes synchronicity is employed, for example: Being at just the right place at the right time to grasp an opportunity that perfectly suits our highest intentions.

Sometimes they appear to us as a character in a dream. Or a vision. The other day, feeling rather under the weather, I had a vision of a woman’s arm reaching across to rub my shoulders and neck. I could feel my shoulders and neck relaxing and warming. She then put her cupped hand under my nose and when I glanced in there was a mound of green herbs that let off a delightful scent which I deeply breathed in. I must have slipped into a deep sleep shortly after and when I awoke, I felt so much better! I have no idea what dried herbs she held in her cupped hand nor exactly where she touched my shoulders and neck. It was a beautiful, peaceful and healing feeling and a lovely example of how our spirit guides can aid us.

Spirit Guide Assignments

There are 3 different types of spirit guides and not all of them are with us for our lifetime.

Personal Guide
We have a personal guide, who is typically a loved one or ancestor who has passed on to spirit. It may be a loved one who wasn’t able to guide us to our right path while we were together in this corporal world. They have found (often much to their cosmic delight!) that they can do from the spirit world what they failed to do for us while embodied. Ultimately, they may have to help you shift back to your true path, correcting damage they might have done to you in this life (unintentionally?), in order for them to move forward spiritually in the next life. They might be stuck until they fix the damage they wreaked. Spirit guides are helped by our communication with them as well. By aiding us, they are supported to progress spiritually.
Specialist Guides
We have specialist guides, such as those concerned with our careers, projects, relationships or health. They may only be with us for the duration of the project giving us helpful guidance and advice.
Spiritual guides
In the highest order, we have brilliantly, spiritually gifted guides. They inspire us with truth especially highlighting what we may have forgotten along life’s physically demanding journey.

Our inspired guides ignite us to a higher spiritual plane and are the ones who are with us for a lifetime. I describe my inspired guide, Cora Richmond on my Psychic in Canada web site. She has helped me on innumerable occasions to access my higher self and move forward on my spiritual path. She has led me to people, circumstances, challenges and joy which have all effected tremendous growth in my spiritual journey. Not everyone is privileged to determine who their inspired guide was when they were in embodiment and I’m grateful she was willing to meet me half-way to figure it out!

How to Meet Your Spirit Guide

Your spirit guides have come to you in your dreams. Go back over dreams and ponder those times when you woke up feeling as though something powerful and memorable happened. These are called “big dreams” and typically recur throughout one’s lifetime. You may have been introduced by your dream director to a character that infused you with more love and joy you could even imagine possible. They might have appeared in the figure of a religious icon, famous actor, teacher or even an animal you adore.

Pay attention to waking or night dreams that are more real than fantasy. Where you are doing extraordinary feats like flying, swimming at the bottom of the ocean or traveling on a spaceship. Visions are different from fantasies because they seem to be making themselves. You feel detached, having no hand in their design or creation. It’s a feeling of being more witness than participant. Visions don’t engage your ego like a fantasy typically does.

Notice books, articles or sites that just seem to drop in your lap or come to you recommended by someone you trust. These messages are guiding you in a direction that may not be clear at the outset but will inevitably lead to you to a place of fulfillment and spiritual awakening.

Sometimes we are just inspired to do something, go somewhere, be with someone out of the blue. We cannot explain logically why we are pursuing this path, but we are weirdly compelled to step outside our normal routine and habit, to do it. The more we do these sorts of things, the less cryptic the communication becomes, until we are chatting with our guides on a regular basis!

Automatic writing/drawing is another effective way to connect with your spirit guides. Sitting relaxed with pencil in hand and blank paper in front of you, just let the text/image unfold as if you were a witness rather than creator. Let the pencil move where it wishes and don’t edit or even read it until the pencil stops.

Enjoy these last vestiges of summer! August, September and October are my favourite months of the year. Cooler temperatures, fresh food and the smells of burning leaves and fireplaces.

Blessings Kathleen

Testimonial Snippet

“Out of all the experts I’ve spoken to, you’ve been the absolute best. His roommate I saw posted a lot about him having avoidant personality. My hurt comes from feeling bad that I didn’t understand that and him like she does; but now I do. You’re a phenomenal intuitive and hope to retain you again sometime.
Have a wonderful night.
Jonnie”
